When the local constabulary on the Isle of Wight fails to find any sign of foul play in the disappearance of Nigel Carter, his aunt, Kate Kinsella, owner of the Medical and Nursing Investigation Agency becomes involved, only to find herself the lead suspect in the murder of a new acquaintance.

Nurse Jenny Martin is found dead in a burned-out car. It looks like she was strangled and beaten to death before being unceremoniously crammed into the boot. The police believe Nick ‘the Ace’ Fenny to be the chief suspect. At nineteen years old, he has a reputation for being a joyrider and troublemaker. But Nick’s mum refuses to believe her son’s a murderer and seeks out Kate to help clear his name. In no position to be turning down work, Kate accepts her offer and takes the victim’s old job to find out who else might have a motive for killing.

Meet Kate. Nurse turned detective. Used to dealing with death. But not murder. Lorraine Farnforth just witnessed a murder — and now her own life is in danger. She saw a man shoot a woman in a local carpark, pick up the woman's limp body, and put her in the boot of his car. But Lorraine also made a mistake that night. She locked eyes with the killer, and now he knows what she looks like. Could the witness become the victim . . . ? Lorraine can't go to the police, not if there's a chance they could find out what she was doing that night, so she hires Kate Kinsella to protect her.

In dezelfde streek woont Ellie, een oudere vrouw die haar huis is kwijtgeraakt en moet vechten om te overleven. Wanneer de wegen van Nick en Ellie elkaar kruisen, verandert hun leven voorgoed.

È l’alba del Novecento, a Ibla, lì dove la vita scorre fiacca sulla campagna stanca; lì dove si accalcano notabili tronfi, mogli tradite e poveri diavoli; lì dove la farmacia Albanese, per tutti «molto più di una chiesa», di colpo rimane orfana di colui che da tanti anni la amministra con riserbo monastico. Quando a succedergli accorre da Napoli un giovane senza passato, accolto da ostilità e diffidenza che piano piano si sciolgono in un cauto abbraccio, il paese prende a pulsare e la farmacia a rivivere.

Pengarna skulle göra Noel och Vendela ekonomiskt oberoende, men är de beredda att ge upp sitt hem och flytta från Storforsen?
